TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Investing in the frontlines: why trusting and supporting communities of color will help address gun violence JO - Journal of law, medicine and ethics A1 - Grayson, T. J. A1 - Goodwin, Amber K. SP - 164 EP - 171 VL - 48 IS - Suppl 4 N2 - This article proposes potential strategies to address gun violence in communities of color while identifying the harms associated with a policing-centered, criminal legal approach. In addition to highlighting the dangers associated with the United States' current criminal legal tactics to reduce gun violence in these communities, the authors advocate for community-endorsed strategies that give those impacted by this issue the resources to take on gun violence in their own communities. Specifically, they identify, describe, and endorse a series of violence prevention programs that rely on community relations to detect and prevent incidents of gun violence and that view gun violence as a public health rather than criminal legal issue.
